G'day all. I'll be making the trip over to the U.S. in August to go to Tiki Oasis. After that i'll spending a couple of days with a friend in Arizona, a night in Vegas to see Frankies Tiki Room, then from there i'll head to San Francisco for a few days and then L.A. for a few more.

Now besides a couple of typical tourist things i'd like to see/do i really want to get to as many tiki bars as i can in the time i will be spending in each state. I'm hoping that any locals, or even those who have been to the places i have in mind could tell me if i'll be able to squeeze everything in within my time frame. And also maybe what places are closest to each other to be able to see them in the same day so that i'm not criss-crossing all over the place.

Note that i'm planning on 3-4 days in each state although i'll definitely stay an extra day where required if it makes sure i get to tick off everything on my list. I know that i can spend the entire night at each bar in San Franciso as there are three bars and i'll have three nights but L.A. i'm going to have to visit two, or possibly three on the same night, with a drink or two at each. If that's the case, where should i start and where should i end the night?

SAN FRANCISCO
Lombard street (don't :lol:)
Alcatraz
The Golden Gate Bridge
Alamo Square
Haight and Ashbury streets

and obviously
Forbidden Island
Smugglers Cove
Tonga Room

LOS ANGELES
Disneyland

and......
Tiki Ti
Oceanic Arts
Tonga Hut
Bahooka
Trader Vics
Purple Orchid
Don the Beachcombers

Please let me know if there is something i have missed worth seeing.

cheers
